What’s New?
Pentecost Service Volunteer Opportunities
On May 19th, at 10:00 am, we will be participating in a multi-church Pentecost Sunday Service at the James Weldon Johnson Auditorium. This wonderful gathering of several churches opens up plenty of volunteer opportunities. The following areas will need help: greeters in the parking lot and lobby, ushers, and helping the band load gear into the auditorium (and then back out of the auditorium). On May 1st, we will communicate how to sign up for these areas.
Sharing Life Together
Pastor’s Weekly
Last Sunday, Joe spoke about our debt of sin being paid in full. What joy this should bring us! Here are a few things you can meditate on this week:
- God has forgiven us of a debt we could never repay.
- Because our debt is so great, God’s forgiveness and grace must be absolutely free. No strings, no merit, no “doing”, we can not earn grace, all we can do is repent and receive!
- Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Prayer
We are praying for all those affected by the Key Bridge collapse. Please let us know if you find out about a specific need that we may be able to meet. Let’s continue to pray for the best possible stewardship of the rescue, rebuilding, and reopening of our port. Remember that you are welcome to pray in the sanctuary before Sunday services.
Story
In what ways does Jesus bring you joy? Is there something personal, along this line, that you would like to share with your church family? Please consider sharing this on a Sunday morning, this Sunday or in the coming weeks.
Pictures
If you have pictures that would be good for the church website, app, or social media please email them to me. We’ve had such joy-filled gatherings lately! No need for a bunch of pictures — just a few would be helpful.

Good to Know
Life Groups
Have you joined a Life Group yet? This has been a wonderful way for us to follow Jesus together, building relationships, caring for and praying for each other. We are looking forward to continuing these encouraging activities and Bible study discussions.
We have two Zoom meetings and two in-person meetings each month. The Zoom group meets on Wednesdays (every other week) and the in-person group meets on Thursdays (every other week). If those nights don’t work for you, please let us know. We are open to starting another group to ensure that everyone can receive the benefit of Life Groups.
